About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is issuing a Request for Application (RFA) for Behavioral Health - Treatment Foster Care (BH-TFC) Services under solicitation number S-10000-00013544. The procurement seeks providers to deliver specialized foster care services that integrate behavioral health and rehabilitation services for children with complex mental health needs. Successful applicants will be responsible for providing intensive community-based mental health services, placement stabilization, and comprehensive support for foster parents caring for children with challenging behavioral health requirements. Applicants may propose providing behavioral rehabilitation services and mental health services directly or establish partnerships with mental health providers through a memorandum of understanding. The evaluation will focus on the applicant's ability to recruit and support foster homes, integrate mental health and rehabilitation services, and provide comprehensive, culturally appropriate, trauma-informed support. The RFA is due on August 19, 2025, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, with an initial contract term of two years and potential renewals up to a cumulative maximum of five years. Proposers must complete multiple attachments, including a Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, Responsibility Inquiry form, and Applicant Information and Certification Sheet.

The RFA emphasizes participation of certified disadvantaged businesses, with a focus on minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses certified under Oregon Revised Statute 200.055. Proposers must disclose their certification status and demonstrate plans for soliciting certified firms and potential subcontracting opportunities. While the state encourages diverse business participation, the certification information will not be scored in the evaluation process. The contract requires comprehensive compliance with state and federal regulations, including non-discrimination practices, tax law adherence, and wage equity requirements. Proposers must maintain various insurance coverages, including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates funding is intended to cover costs beyond existing payment structures, including increased monthly proctor reimbursement, additional staffing costs, and enhanced respite availability. The program originated from a 2019 legislative session pilot program and aims to expand and standardize treatment foster care services for children with intensive behavioral health needs.
